Windows 10 will support themes with the Creators update hitting next year. Microsoft teased the very feature at an event in October. It will add themed sounds, wallpapers, and much more to your PC. For a greater part, the work has been done, as the first set of Windows 10 themes have started to show up in Windows Store.

With Windows 10 themes one can easily customize the look of a computer, but don’t expect them to completely overhaul your desktop. Like usual Windows affair, you can change colors, wallpapers, sounds, and cursors.

Official Release In Early 2017

As of now, themes are limited to PCs with insider build only. The official rollout of the feature will happen with the Creators update scheduled for early 2017. After the official release, users can directly download and install themes using Windows Store.

In case, you want to try out the feature now, head over to WindowsApps in Program Files and find the theme files where you’ll see a .themepack which will get installed once you run it. If you aren’t a power user, we recommend waiting for the stable release.
